Thread: Whirlpool hash - weird output

Hello, the thing is I found myself in the need for a whirlpool hash(don't ask why).

The only place I could find it was the one from GNU.

To get to the point, this is the code:

Whirlpool wp = new Whirlpool();
 
				String s = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
				byte[] b = s.getBytes(Charset.forName("UTF-8"));
				wp.update(b,0,43);
 
				byte[] r = wp.digest();
 
				String str = new String(r,Charset.forName("UTF-8"));
				System.out.println("String:"+str);

And I was hoping for a nice whirlpool hash but got this instead:

String:<?R??XF
????n?g?Tl??H?po???????	m?
5?F ??
y?QhTM?|?I???

If you need any additional information(I think I posted all that's needed) just ask me, I'm the one that needs help.

Note: do not suggest other algorithms. It's not a security issue. The data which will be used is Whirlpool hashed and I can't loose the data.(Unless, there's a way to unhash whirlpool..)

Wow, I don't even know how to thankyou.
I used the library you suggested and the normal output:

The problem is solved.

Blah, according to your link it hashes it with "Whirlpool-T", and it seems that I need the "Whirlpool-0". As I already tried using it and it seems that this hash generates a different output than I have stored.

Although the main problem is solved, perhaps you know where I could find the "Whirlpool-0" hash library?

EDIT: I found these libraries: http://www.jonelo.de/java/jacksum/ In their doccumentation they state that you can hash Whirlpool-0 and others. But it's the same library that I used before. I just can't find a way to tell it to use "Whirlpool-0" and not some other type...

According to this, "blah," a word commonly used to describe an emotional state in which the person feels a sense of having no hope; usually during a deep depression.

Hyperbole, I hope.

I'm not quite sure what did you want to say ,GregBranno, but I had no hope.

Anyway. I re-checked and it seems I needede the newest version of whirlpool. By using the "jacksum" library I used the class "Whirlpool2003" and for now it seems it works
